A spokesman for Liberia's President George Weah has confirmed that the government withdrew the funds of donors without their approval, but insisted that the money - partly used to pay salaries - would be returned and accounted for.
Isaac Solo Kelgbeh made the admission after a leaked letter - written to Mr Weah and signed by nine ambassadors - put the spotlight this week on how the government had withdrawn donor aid kept in accounts at Liberia's central bank.
